Tate is One!

I can't believe that our Tate is now 1-year-old!! He is such a cute and smiley boy and makes everyone happy when he is around them. He honestly has been such an easy and mellow kid up to this point and I hope he turns out to be a pretty easy toddler.....here's to hoping. :) We really enjoyed celebrating Tate's 1st birthday this month. On his actual birthday Jake was out of town so I made cinnamon rolls for his birthday treat, and then the Sunday following his birthday we had family over to have cake and ice cream. Our family was so generous and gave him some fun gifts and it was fun to celebrate with them. I wanted Tate's cake to be chocolate, but when I went to make it I didn't have any chocolate cake mixes left so we went with rainbow chip. Tate didn't really know what to think of it, but finally dug in. He is still as big as ever, and not really crawling or walking at this point. He is doing an army crawl and shuffle backwards thing, and I am sure he will be crawling like crazy in no time. At his 1 year checkup he was:

So stinkin cute! He did grow up fast! Poor Abby I didn't know about her surgery, maybe you said something at girls night and I was in my corner so I didn't hear, or maybe all us loud mouths didn't let you get a word in! HA...anyway so sorry and glad it went well, what a trooper!

Hello!!

I am very lucky to be a daughter to some pretty amazing parents, a sister to some funny and talented women, a wife to a handsome and fantastic husband, and a mom to two little cuties! I love to cook, eat, sleep and read, and have found a new passion for running and working out, which is nice so it keeps my other hobbies in check :) I also love to change my hair color to liven things up a bit! Jake and I have been married for 8.5 years and we have been blessed with two adorable kids. Abby is 4 years old, and Tate is 20 months old. As cliche as it sounds our kids are the light of our lives and make us laugh every day. Jake works in Sales and I get to be the CEO of the house (it's a pretty glamourous and a much sought after position!) Sometimes life is hard, but we always try to find something to smile about!!
